Short interest need to not be self reported. There should be investigations every day or at least weekly to see how these hedge funds and market makers are influencing stock prices. Naked shorting is a disgusting practice that has caused economic crashes in the past. We need to learn from our past mistakes. The formula for calculating short interest needs to be fixed to show the actual number of
Confidence and faith in the US stock market is decaying rapidly. I'm the poster child for this decay. Up until this year, I really wasn’t paying attention. I was under the mistaken impression that the market was fair for all participants. Over the past year, I’ve realized that this game is rigged, primarily through the essentially unregulated use of illegal synthetic (naked) shares by key
FINRA 21-19 As a retail investor I have been concerned with the lack of transparency in short interest reporting. Confidence in the US market is wavering in part due to FINRAS out dated policies on short interest reporting. For a free market to exist we need reform and transparency for everyone.
The FINRA 21-19 is a long waited change in the stock market. The integrity of the US stuck market has been tarnished. So much in fact that is teders on the edge of collapse. This is partially caused by the risks surrounding short interest reporting under the regulation of FINRA. Even though FINRA 21-19 focusses on a broader spectrum of ineffective reporting, the certain gaps in the 21-19 could
FINRA 21-19 is a much needed change. It has become clear that the integrity of the United States market has been detrimentally impacted, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective
While more reporting around Short Interest Positions is to be encouraged and applauded, unless the market "plumbing" that allows failures-to-deliver to continue in perpetuity is also addressed, these changes will not solve the underlying problem. Address short interest reporting AND the failures-to-deliver problem if you really want to fix this issue.
Cash account investor here. Never touched and option or margin. Recently during the merger between TRCH and MMAT, "somehow" my longs were charged with HTB interest. With how my knowledge of CUSIP works, my longs should have never been labeled as short. With the crazy time it took to finalize the merger, DTC holding back (buying time?) Preferred Shares, HTB interest on longs that should
B. Content of Short Interest Data - The addition of reporting short interest by categories to give a more accurate picture of which entities hold what positions is great for accountability and keeping an open fair market. - Yes. Any short/long position should be reported the same. Synthetic short positions have a history of being used to conceal a form of market manipulation due to its ability to
A market is based on supply and demand. A stock market is based on supply and demand. The price on the stock market is normally made by buying and selling shares. Shorting is something else... like someone wants to see a company go bankrupt. In my view this is not the case if investing and the US need to stop allowing shorting. The short interest should not be self reported. That doesn’t make any
Reporting partial short interests does nothing but mask the trickery of hedgies. A good rule change for FINRA would be to report from ALL exchanges both lit and unlit. Get rid of T + 2. Provide exact real time interest charges. Hopefully the SEC would ban naked short covering with options or ban naked shorts entirely. Basically level the playing field between Wall Street and retailers. If we can’
